TTT - 10 Recommendations For People Who People Who Buy Books Based On Their Covers!

This top 10 weekly meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and can be found HERE. Each week they focus on lists which cover various topics related to books and reading. Top Ten Tuesday is back with an all new link-up and new topics. This week is "Ten Book Recommendations For...." so I chose to show you books for people who buy books based on their covers. I will add that I haven't read these books but they are on my wishlist, primarily because of their covers. So here we go!

Children of Blood and Bone: Tomi Adeyemi

This book doesn't even come out until next year but when I saw it on Tammy's blog I didn't even need the synopsis to add it to the wishlist (although I did read it and it definitely didn't hurt that it sounds great).

Oracle Bone: Lydia Kwa

Another one that landed on the wishlist because of the cover.

Pages Torn From a Travel Journal - Edward Lee

What's this about? Couldn't tell you. But I think I want to find a copy.

Lost Crow Conspiracy - Rosalyn Eves

Haven't even read Rose Red Rebellion and don't know if I plan on doing so but I saw this cover and it ended up on the wishlist anyway.

Witching Hour Theatre - Jonathan Janz

I just grabbed this for my Kindle (look for it an an upcoming haul) after seeing it on a blog - maybe The Book Den - not sure. Didn't even need the synopsis - just loved the cover.

Muerte Con Carne - Shane McKenzie

I saw this cover and had to add it. I think it appeals to my dark twisty side.

The Night Boat - Robert McCammon

Another book that went on the wishlist after seeing the cover. Think it was a Goodreads recommendation or something. At least I have read this author before even if I don't know what the book is about.

Meddling Kids - Edgar Cantero

Even though I've seen mixed reviews, I still hope to read this one really soon. All it tool was purple tentacles to make this one jump on the wishlist!

Sun Warrior - P.C. Cast

Moon Chosen started the great reading slump of November 2016 but that didn't stop this one from landing on the wishlist - mainly because of that cover.

Kalahari - Jessica Khoury

I think this is part of a series. Who knows? All I paid attention to was this gorgeous cover!

So what books have you bought or added to your wishlist strictly because of the cover???

Some nice covers in there. I like Children of Blood and Bone, Lost Crow Conspiracy, Muerte Con Carne (what a great title too!)Sun Warrior and Kalahari. My dad has a very dull cover version of The Night Boat but this one is way better! I never buy books based purely on covers though-the blurb has to sound great too!

CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE! <3 I am SO excited about that book. I was lucky enough to get a chapter sampler at YALC and the beginning is gripping, so I can't wait to dive into the rest of the story. I hadn't seen the cover of Sun Warrior before - the books in that series are so gorgeous (even though they're really long and intimidating...)

Oh man, those are some great covers. The Night Boat looks super creepy! But you know me... all it takes for me to find a cover irresistible is a dog! (Did you get the ARC I sent you? I emailed it yesterday.)

Wow, some of these covers are gorgeous! I can see why you would pick them up. (I too am intrigued.) I've read Kalahari, and it was probably my favorite of Jessica Khoury's science-fiction-y Corpus books. :)
